Castaways and Cutouts is my favorite.

miniature tigers - tell it to the volcano
cast spells
the arcade fire - funeral
the arcade fire - neon bible
minus the bear - highly refined pirates
broken social scene - you forget it in people
dr. dog - fate
kay kay and his weathered underground

If you're looking for someone similar to This Day & Age, check out The Reign of Kindo. It's basically 4 former members of This Day & Age with one new member. Their debut album is called 'Rhythm, Chord & Melody'.

There's no 'the' in Arcade Fire. Sorry, it's just one of those things that bugs the heck out of me.

There is indeed a forum for this. Perhaps you'd be treated to less obvious picks there as well.

Yeah, I've never been questioned about it before. It only really matters that people get their hands on the tunes. I've started to find the beauty in Neon Bible after dismissing it for Funeral for so long. What a great band. The Canadian indie scene is unstoppable.
